Enjoy the spectacular beauty of the Mississippi River

BOATELS is located in McGregor, Iowa, across the Mississippi River from Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, in the heart of the Upper Mississippi River bluff country.

The Mississippi River’s beauty gives visitors the same breathtaking panorama beheld by Father Marquette and Louis Jolliet, the first white men to discover the “Father of Waters” three centuries ago; or Mark Twain, whose visions were filled with the romance of the Mississippi River. The rich, historical lore on the exploits and daring of the men who made the Northwest; an ever-changing panorama of colorful bluffs and rock formations carved by wind and water; wooded, green islands; and water confluences continue to fascinate and challenge the exploring boater or photographer, the casual visitor or learned traveler.
